These are just some of the headlines the past few days! While my mom was in the hospital, I was able to write several articles that is good for a month! I have already scheduled them to be automatically posted. However, the headline in the last few days prompted me to squeeze in some time to write and post this short article. As early as November, I have started writing about the bleak financial forecast of the year, and December I posted the full annual forecast that mentioned the possibility of stronger “earth” related calamities this year. And it seems to be happening already.

First, why you should believe the forecasts. It is because these are not conjured by psychic abilities, I do forecast by analyzing the movement of the stars and of the energies. This is done by computing them and analyzing them. In the past years, I have greatly shown some accuracy. I was the only Feng Shui writer who has publicly said that there will be a great calamity and some sort of famine that will happen in Visayas (central part of the Philippines) and that year Typhoon Haiyan (Typhoon Yolanda) happened. It was the strongest typhoon ever recorded in history. After that I did write about Nepal earthquake, and then some freak weather disturbances, and a lot more. These are all a matter of fact and you can easily check this blog to confirm. I’m writing this not because I want to go through some ego boosting exercise but rather I want to show you the trend of my forecasts for you to understand why I’m worried. At the very least, these forecasts cannot be attributed to my supernatural power because there is nothing supernatural in analyzing and computing the relationship of the elements and the stars of the year. This show my skill computing and analyzing them but it not something that is supernatural.

Anyway, I’m writing this because as you can see there are a lot of signs that what I’ve written are coming true. Global stock market plunges causing panic amongst financial analysts and businessmen. The DOW Jones also plunges by more than 1100+ points! Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency known for its high and good performance also have been steadily plunging down! In the Philippines, Coca – Cola is laying off 600 of its workers, while the official reason is restructuring, it doesn’t take an analyst to know what really cause it given that they made the decision when the TRAIN law took effect. In a country like the Philippines, one has to realized that 600 people doesn’t mean only 600 gets affected. Remember, 99% if not 100% will have somebody fully depending on them or partially depending on them, so 600 at a very conservative estimate means 1,200 people. And we all know that’s not the case because spouses, children, parents, siblings may be depending on these 600 people!!!! On top of that, fuel prices are getting higher. Again, almost everything is depending on fuels and so it won’t be surprising if everything follows suits!

Meanwhile, another forecast seems to be happening also. A few days ago, there was a deadly earthquake in Taiwan. Followed by a significantly strong earthquake in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. However, although not highlighted in the news there have been significantly strong earthquakes in several parts of the world. Some of these countries are Chile, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Uganda, Japan, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, several parts of the USA including Alaska. And as I’ve written a few days ago, science to be confirming this forecast. (Earth Could See Twice As Many Big Earthquakes This Year!)

Now I’m writing this not to scare you. But to remind you that while we technically cannot do anything about the earthquakes, we can collectively pray and the power of prayer will definitely help in some way. Who knows it may even prevent the earthquake from happening, although we really cannot know this, it is enough to sincerely pray for this. But please understand that when I said that earth calamities, I’m not referring only to earthquakes but it includes landslides as well and as we all know there was a terrible mudslide that happened in the US. In fact, world famous celebrities Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres were both affected. Volcanic eruptions are also counted as earth element calamities because of the lava flow and the inevitable lahar problem.

This is a Kalachakra Pendant designed by Lillian Too. She has included some mandala sands inside the pendant to make it more potent. I personally love this pendant and has one that is made of white gold. The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

From my personal collection. This Jatukam Ramathep Amulet is from the 4th batch made at Wat Phra Mahathat Woromaha Vihan. This is the front side.

Regarding the financial crisis, we can also collectively say a prayer. In both circumstances, we should pray everyday the whole year. We should also ensure that we spend money wisely. But I strongly suggest that we should all be protected with wealth amulets like the VAISRAVANA – DZAMBHALA WEALTH AMULET and the SPECIAL GOLD PIYAO. It is better if you can have both because these two amulets will actively create wealth luck / financial luck / money luck for you! Carrying the VAJRAPANI RUEL will also aid in protecting you from getting fully affected. Of course, if you know of any other amulets that works you can use that also.

The Vaisavana – Dzambhala Wealth Amulet has the consecrated copies of the mantras of King Vaisravana of the Four Heavenly Kings and the mantras of the Five Dzambhalas. Furthermore, there are some special ingredients in powder form that are included to add to the potency of the amulet. Before it is sealed it is furthered consecrated on the image of The Four Heavenly Kings.It is placed in a metal case, not just for its durability and protection but according to the Tantric Buddhist Scripture book where Guru Lama got the instructions for this amulet, it has to be placed in cylindrical metal case to symbolize continuity and stability.

On top of the 12 ‘big’ heavenly money coin, it also has another 5 heavenly money coin on each side of the it’s harness. This further represents that the ‘owner’ of the Pi Yao can harness wealth into his or her life. On each side of its hind legs is the symbol for protection. This represents protection from earthly dangers and envious eyes, and also harmony so that one doesn’t get into a rough, hostile situation is one’s quest to simply get more financial luck to provide for one’s family. Also incorporated is the symbol for longevity to constantly provide good health

It also has fierce but still friendly face, this indicates that while you can be fierce in business or work, you will still gain the support and admiration of the people around you. This also means that you can you charm to get to your wealth luck.

In all these, remember that prayer works! And so pray, pray, pray! I cannot remind you enough of the power of prayers especially these challenging times ahead.

To understand this year’s forecast, you should read all the other related 2018 Year of the Earth Dog Feng Shui Forecasts:

In the first part of this post, I wrote about my general Feng Shui forecast on the year, largely base on the bazi chart of the year, here I will share more base on the Flying Stars and on the 24 Mountain Stars. There I wrote about what should we generally expect in the lunar year to come, and while there is a bleak forecast about wealth luck/financial luck/money luck, there are some good things that we can expect also.

I’m always a little apprehensive about some of the things that I write especially if there is a bleak forecast, because since I earned the reputation of being the only Feng Shui writer or Feng Shui enthusiast at that who was able to accurately forecast the tragedy of Typhoon Haiyan / Typhoon Yolanda and the devastation it brought prior to the calamity and not post – calamity, my annual predictions, especially the significant ones has all come to fruition. I did this during the annual forecast for the year. And so while I still believe that the bleak financial forecast will also come true, I also believe that arming ourselves with hard work, determination, faith in higher being, and with Feng Shui charms or Buddhist and Taoist amulets will definitely see us through this dilemma. For this year, it is important that we wear gold. More importantly we should wear the Holy Trinity of Amulets which are the (1) Special Gold Piyao and/or the VAISRAVANA – DZAMBHALA WEALTH AMULET, (2) GOLD PENDANT IMAGE OF BODHISATTVA KSITIGARBHA (also known as Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa, Earth Store Bodhisattva), and (3) the FOUR DHARMAKAYA RELIC MANTRAS and the LAMA ATISHAcombined amulet in a metal holder. If you want to understand about these amulets better, I suggest you read the first part of this post. Actually, you have to read the PART 1 of this forecast so that you see the whole picture.

This limited Special Gold Piyao has 4 horns that represents the four cardinal directions – East, West, North, and South. This means that one will be able to take by the horn the challenges to gain financial luck.

On top of the 12 ‘big’ heavenly money coin, it also has another 5 heavenly money coin on each side of the it’s harness. This further represents that the ‘owner’ of the Pi Yao can harness wealth into his or her life. On each side of its hind legs is the symbol for protection. This represents protection from earthly dangers and envious eyes, and also harmony so that one doesn’t get into a rough, hostile situation is one’s quest to simply get more financial luck to provide for one’s family. Also incorporated is the symbol for longevity to constantly provide good health

On top of that they designed the said Pi Xie’s with 12 heavenly money coins to represent wealth luck for each of the 12 lunar months. The coins are found on it’s back and also at the bottom part of the image and on his legs, so this represents that it walks on money and is need not ‘search’ for it.

This is a special gold Piyao designed by Guru Lama and made of blessed gold.

It also has fierce but still friendly face, this indicates that while you can be fierce in business or work, you will still gain the support and admiration of the people around you. This also means that you can you charm to get to your wealth luck.

Other than the magic inscriptions at the bottom both designs are basically the same.

Instead of only coins at the bottom of the Piyao, there are magical words that connote protection, abundance, luck, health, etc. What design one gets will depend on what one needs.So if you are a person who really need to attract money only or is in a bad financial situation, you will get the one with only the Heavenly Money Coin. However, if you already have abundance of wealth and needs only to safe guard it, or if you also need protection, and good health, and abundance in other aspect of your life, what you will get are those that have the magical inscriptions that will further bring all these aspects to your life. It is Guru Lama who determines this, thus we will request for your birthdate when you request for a Special Gold Piyao.

Anyway, allow me to share with you the forecast base one the 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA and the FLYING STARS FORMULA.

Note: The FOUR DHARMAKAYA RELIC MANTRAS and LAMA ATISHA Combined Amulets will be available middle of December 2017. No photo yet.

THE CENTER HAS #9 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE MULTIPLYING AND FUTURE PROSPERITY STAR!

Technically speaking, this is neither a good or bad star. The power of this star is to let you reap whatever you sow. This star basically multiplies whatever karma you accumulate. If you do more good things you’ll have more good luck in the future, but if you continue to do a lot of bad things, you multiply your negative karma as well.

However, for this year though because it landed in the center means it brings the SUM OF 9 luck. While this is quite difficult to explain here, all you need to know is that it brings in some good luck and uplifts a little the bleak forecast base on the bazi chart. Having said that, it is also a star that indicates, if you continue to do good, you will surely be rewarded, however, if you harvested bad you will also surely reap bad karma.

For those who have planted good deeds also, this will be a year where you can reap those rewards of good karma. And so, while there is a bleak Feng Shui forecast in the year, you might fare better than others because of your good karma. Alternately, those who sow bad karma, well, this is a year where you will need help.

Recommendations:

Before I don’t really put any enhancer or cure recommendations because I want people to be more conscious about what they do. However, a reader told me that there are times that we simply, without intending to be bad, create some things that earn us negative karma. For this I highly recommend either the image of the Medicine Buddhaor the symbolic script of the mantra OM AH HUM or OM HANU PASHA BARA HE YE SOHA both of which are on the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT. For those who don’t have the Wish Fulfilling and Buddha’s Blessing Mantra Pendant, you can simply chant the mantras mentioned above or wear the Surangama Mantra Amulet or Vajrapani Ruel.

For those who believes that they might have sowed bad karma, it will be extremely be beneficial for you, to help protect and cleanse you from the negative chi that you have planted, to wear a gold image of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

Medicine Buddha

Again, if using an image of Ksitigarbha at home, I prefer to use the one with the crown, unless, he is placed the ancestral altar.

Pure Land Buddhists believes that when you wear a Surangama Mantra Amulet, heavenly beings that has an affinity with you will hover over you.

THE EAST HAS THE 2ND MOST DREADED STAR IN THE FLYING STAR FORMULA WHICH IS THE #7 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE VIOLENT STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE BIG AUSPICIOUS STAR AND THE ANNUAL CONFLICT STAR OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA

The star brings hostility and loss through robbery, theft, or even manipulation. Next to the Five Yellow Star or Wu Wang, this is one of the most dreaded stars. This year people born in the sign of the Rabbit are directly affected by this star and those who stays in the Northeast and Southeast are also side afflicted with the dreaded #5 Flying Star also known as Five Yellow Star. But more on that on the succeeding post. All people affected by this star either by virtue of their Chinese Animal Zodiac or because their home or office face East or is in the East sector should make sure that they take care of themselves. This is a powerful dreaded star that, as mentioned brings hostility and loss, either thru robbery, theft or even manipulation.

The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

In looking for an image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva either as a pendant or a figurine for your home, you will come across with two versions, the one with the ‘Amitabha’ hat and the one where He is not wearing any hat and shows his bald head. I prefer the one with the hat, because the one where He is bald is usually associated with the spirits of the dead and connotes that he hasn’t attain His Buddhahood.

This is a special gold Piyao designed by Guru Lama and made of blessed gold.

THE SOUTHEAST HAS THE FAVORED #8 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE WEALTH STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE SUI PO, ANNUAL CONFLICT STAR, AND THE HEAVENLY SEAL STARS OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA!

This star is a very good star. It gives you abundance and to some a ‘bottomless’ pocket filled with money. This star is not just about money wealth but this is also for overall abundance. This year, this is considered as the luckiest star because it will bring wealth where the year shows there is none. That is not to say though, that this star is as strong as the previous years, because it while it brings wealth, it has to pull off wealth from somewhere. Thus, it has to be activated.

With the 24 Mountain Stars, the Sui Po is so weak this year that you can almost ignore it. The Heavenly Seal is auspicious it brings in heavenly support. Furthermore, and it will help strengthen the #8 Flying Star or the Wealth Star. However, the Annual Conflict Star is a cause for concern, because it brings misfortune thus there is a need to protect oneself from it.

It also has fierce but still friendly face, this indicates that while you can be fierce in business or work, you will still gain the support and admiration of the people around you. This also means that you can you charm to get to your wealth luck.

The Vaisavana – Dzambhala Wealth Amulet has the consecrated copies of the mantras of King Vaisravana of the Four Heavenly Kings and the mantras of the Five Dzambhalas. Furthermore, there are some special ingredients in powder form that are included to add to the potency of the amulet. Before it is sealed it is furthered consecrated on the image of The Four Heavenly Kings.It is placed in a metal case, not just for its durability and protection but according to the Tantric Buddhist Scripture book where Guru Lama got the instructions for this amulet, it has to be placed in cylindrical metal case to symbolize continuity and stability.

Sun Wukong (aka Monkey God or Great Sage, Equal to Heaven) is also a weath and protector god or deity. He is both reverred in Taoism and Buddhism. One of my future post is about how he started as a Taoist Immortal and then converted to Buddhism.

THE SOUTH HAS THE #4 FLYING STAR WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE ROMANCE AND SCHOLASTIC STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE NATURAL DISASTER OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA AND IS THE FACING THREE – KILLINGS LOCATION OF THE YEAR!

Romance luck is heightened if your room is on this side of the house. For single people, you might have the possibility of finding love. For partnered people, you might find your love getting more ‘fragrant’. However, for married couple the effect might be two- Fold. First, you might find yourself loving each other more deeply, but there might also be the possibility of a third party getting involved. It is also called Scholastic Star because it also has a good effect on the scholastic pursuits of a person. Meaning, students may become more studious, and professionals might find that it’s easier to understand documents.

Unfortunately, it also has the Star of Natural Disaster, and while this star has no direct effect on a personal level, countries that is in the South Sector of the map, or provinces that is in the South side of a country might find that there is an increase of calamities.

This is also the Facing of the Three Killing. And while the three killing stars might bring conflict, it is quite easy to deal with it, you simply face it. And in a way, just by being on this sector, you are already dealing with it.

Recommendations:

For single person, you can put a Rose Quartz Mandarin Ducks on your bedside. For married couple, you can hang the Double Happiness on your headboard. To safeguard yourself from a third party, tie an Amethyst Geode with Red String on the foot of your bed or ask your partner to wear a gold image of Kuan Kong. You can also use the power of Green Tara to ensure that this star works for the positive only. For those single people hoping to find love, you can also wear a Surangama Mantra Amulet orgold Kuan Yin Bodhisattva (also called or spelled as Avalokitesvara, Kannon, Guan Yin, Guan Shi Yin, Kuan Shi Yin) pendant.

Pure Land Buddhists believes that when you wear a Surangama Mantra Amulet, heavenly beings that has an affinity with you will hover over you.

Kuan Kong Gold Pendant

Goddess Tara is also known as Green Tara because of her green color.

THE SOUTHWEST HAS A FAVORED STAR WHICH IS THE #6 FLYING STAR OR THE HEAVEN’S BLESSING AND MENTOR STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE YIN JIA, YI DUO, GOLDEN DEITY STARS OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA!

This star helps set the ‘tone’ of the year for people whose office, or room is in the Southwest side of the house or building. Meaning, if you continuously do more good the more blessed you’re going to be. This also means that if you’re Chinese Animal Zodiac is not so good, you will have help from Heaven (Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Deities, Immortals, or Saints). This also means that you’ll be lucky enough to have people who will help you achieve your goal.

While the Yin Jia and Yi Duo Stars are a cause for concern, you can easily protect yourself from it by wearing a protection amulet.

The good news is that you also have the Golden Deity Star, and having this star means you’ll get blessings from various deity. This is also an auspicious star that helps brings in wealth, and so this is considered as an extremely auspicious star, especially in a year when the energies are lacking of wealth luck / financial luck / money luck.

THE WEST HAS THE #2 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE ILLNESS STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE ANNUAL CONFLICT AND REDUCING ENERGY STARS OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA!

As the name implies, this star causes illness and to some extent it can be fatal or terminal. This star also causes some accidents that may make you invalid for a long time if not permanently. Everybody who stays in this sector is affected.

Both the Annual Conflict Stars and the Reducing Energy Stars of the 24 Mountain Stars Formula are negative stars, and thus these are stars that will definitely be dealt with. The Annual Conflict star will definitely bring in a lot of stress that may develop into something serious, but having this star both in WEST 1 and WEST 3 sectors will definitely make things so much worse. Then the Reducing Energy star, joining the Illness Star will definitely make things bad for people who stays in this sector.

Two years ago my Guru Lama has come up with a special Illness Suppression Amuletand that is he has combined three of the most powerful anti-illness and anti-accident mantras, which he has consecrated under the Tooth Relic of Shakyamuni Buddha and included some powerful Dharma Pills.

I shall write about the Dharma Pills in my succeeding post. But basically, a Dharma Pill is a special small object that is made of second-class relics of high lamas and is highly consecrated. Please note consecration is better than simply blessing it.

The mantras that are included in this Illness Suppression Amulet are the Medicine Buddha Mantra printed in a blue paper, Namgyalma Mantra and White Umbrella Goddess Mantra printed on a white paper, and Amitayus Mantra printed on a red paper. Aside from wearing this, this should definitely be in the West sector of the house or office. For this year, my Guru Lama has made an enhanced ‘version’ of this amulet. I still don’t have it but will see it soon.

This year he has replaced the holder and made it into metal, because the metal elements helps suppress the illness star.

People in this sector can also wear the Special Gold Piyao to suppress the double effects of the Annual Conflict Star.

THE NORTHWEST HAS #1 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE VICTORY STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE SMALL AUSPICIOUSNESS STAR AND THE STAR OF ROBBERY OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA. THIS YEAR, THE TAI SUEY OR THE GRAND DUKE JUPITER ALSO RESIDES ON THIS SECTOR!

This is quite auspicious because this will in some way temper the challenging Bazi chart (Paht Chee chart) of the year, especially at the beginning to the year. As mentioned the beginning of the year may prove to be quite difficult for people who wants or have some money – making projects to take off. This is a good star especially for those who have projects that are not wealth – centric. This also gives an advantage for those who stays in this sector in their career.

This sector also has the Small Auspiciousness Star, but for this year, every small blessing is big and so those whose house or buildings or office, or those who stay in this sector are quite lucky to have this star.

Unfortunately, you also have the Star of Robbery, and so as the name of the star implies you have to be careful about robbery. However, robbery here doesn’t only imply to actual robbery, although it could be that, but more of being robbed off your hard work on a project like recognition, or losing the project at its final stage.

Note: That if the center of your house or office is a stockroom or washroom /comfort room/ rest room this is really bad and you should try to avoid using that room.

For the Star of Robbery, having the Vajrapani Ruel or the Special Gold Piyao or the Kalachakra Pendant made of gold is enough protection for you not to be affected by this star.

It is extremely advisable for you to activate the Small Auspiciousness Star by having the Special Gold Piyao.

Victory Banner also called as The Banner of Victory

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

Pure Land Buddhists believes that when you wear a Surangama Mantra Amulet, heavenly beings that has an affinity with you will hover over you.

Other than the magic inscriptions at the bottom both designs are basically the same.

Windhorse or Lung-Ta with the ‘Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment’ on its back. Please note that this is the Lung Ta or Wind Horse, just found out that some people try to sell of an ordinary image of an ordinary horse saying its a Lung Ta.

However, it should be noted that this year, the Tai Suey God is in the Northwest. It has to be noted that Tai Suey is not part of the Flying Star or 24 Mountain Star but we need to always take this into consideration because offending the Tai Suey will create a lot of bad luck.

The Taoists, where most of how we do Feng Shui originated, believes that a certain God called Tai Suey or Tai Sui or Grand Duke in English rules a year. This year 2018, the Tai Sui (Tai Suey) God of the year is Supreme General Jiang Wu. However, you have to understand a little about Taoist Gods for you to be able to understand why we have to be careful in dealing with the Tai Suey.

Taoist Gods are like humans with supernatural powers. They have magical and godly powers but they may also have human temperament and they also have characters and personalities. Meaning, they can get angry with our acts, they can be disturbed and get angry with us and thus render a punishment to us, or maybe the simple act of them getting irritated with us might create some misfortune. However, they can also be appeased and happy with us and render us some good blessings, or again, the simple act of the Tai Suey getting happy with us will create some good fortune.

To help ensure that Tai Suey is happy with us always carry an image of the Pi Yao or Pi Xiu. This celestial animal will help appease the Grand Duke or Tai Suey. Another image that can help manage the Tai Suey God is to carry, display or wear an image of the Wind Horse or Lung Ta. People born in the year of the Dog and Pig are directly affected by the Tai Suey God (also spelled as Tai Sui, Tai Sue) regardless of where their room is, also affected are the Horse and Rat, and they should have the Piyao. Also, if your door faces Northwest, or if your bedroom and office is in the Northwest you should also put the image of the Piyao. People who are occupying the West also should wear or carry the image of the Piyao. Also, one of the best protections for the Tai Suey is an image of the Goddess of the North Star or Dou Mu Yuan Jun, thus having her image is also highly advisable.

This limited Special Gold Piyao has 4 horns that represents the four cardinal directions – East, West, North, and South. This means that one will be able to take by the horn the challenges to gain financial luck.

THE NORTH HAS THE MOST DREADED STAR WHICH IS THE #5 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE 5 – YELLOW STAR OR WU WANG!

IT ALSO HAS THE THREE KILLINGS AND NATURAL DISASTER STARS OF THE 24 – MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA!

Feng Shui practitioners all know that this is the most dreadful star amongst all the 4 bad flying stars. In fact, sometimes it doesn’t matter whether you’re lucky base on your Bazi chart, if you are afflicted with this you are going to face a very challenging year. This year, the Wu Wang is ever more dreadful because it lands on the North sector, maybe not as dreadful as when it landed in the Northeast on 2016 but still it is more dreadful than usual. That is because the North is ruled by the water element, which actually reduces the energy of the metal it should make the Wu Wang, an earth element weaker. But this year, the North has weak water energies and the double earth energy of the years makes the Wu Wang stronger. So, the effects may be doubled. If you stay (office, room) in this sector or if your house faces this sector or if you are born in the year of the RAT, it’s IMPERATIVE that you deal with this star. If you are on a budget and there is only one thing that you can deal with this year, deal with this. I cannot stress enough the importance of dealing with this.

Add to that is the Three Killings, and the Natural Disaster Stars. I’m not very worried with the three killings but since North is also weakened you will need extra protection. Not to mention you also have the Natural Disaster Star.

Again, the 5 – Yellow Star is the worst of all negative stars! It’s the most dreaded star. It is said to bring 5 different kinds of misfortunes!

And as mentioned this year the Wu Wang is much stronger.

Recommendations:

AGAIN! AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE MOVE OUT FROM THIS SECTION OR DON’T USE THIS SECTION. If that is not possible, you can also use the Five Element Pagoda (5 – Element Pagoda), and the Kalachakra made of gold. But I only recommended this as a secondary option. There is going to be a slight difference on how you use the Five Element Pagoda. First, make sure you are using a new one, take away the old ones and get a new one. Make sure also that it is something that can be opened (please see image below). Inside the top opening, instead of putting a soil, put a crystal. In that case you will still have use an earth element but with a very positive chi. Then at the bottom opening, you have to put three to five powerful amulets or mantras or sutras. I strongly recommend the following:

Please note that you should have at least have 2 of the first three suggestions.

For people who stays in this section of the house or building and if you can’t move out of this sector, it is very important that you wear either the Kalachakra (gold or jade and the Five Element Pagoda (strictly in gold) and also carry with you at least 3 of the mentions amulets that has to be placed inside the Five Element Pagoda. Furthermore, people born in the year of the Horse should also ensure that they wear either the Five Element Pagoda (gold) and the Kalachakra (gold, crystal quartz, jade) and carry the above-mentioned amulets. The logic of this advice will be explained on the forecast for the Rat.

Admittedly, the 5 – Element Pagoda and the Kalachakra pendants can be hard to find, especially you need to wear them in gold. For the Kalachakra pendant, you can search the web to look for one, there are some online stores that sell them in gold or clear quartz or jade. It might be a little pricey though. For the Five – Element Pagoda gold pendant, unfortunately, I have been searching the web where to get this but I can only find two sources. One is thru Lillian Too’s online store.

The other one is through a private seller. I only have praises for the one sold online in Feng Shui Megamall of Lillian Too, but the only drawback is that it can be quite pricey (relatively speaking) and with the tax and shipping fee involved, it’s price is almost doubled.

I also asked my Feng Shui teacher about other alternatives for the cure against the Wu Wang, and as of now it remains to be the 5 – Element Pagoda or (secondary) the Kalachakra and nothing else.

But I’m glad that a reader from Davao has since then provided me a 5 – Element Pagoda and Kalachakra with superb craftsmanship, unlike my previous jeweler, she has also proven to be quite professional and trustworthy. Her Five Element Pagoda pendant and Kalachakra pendant both fashioned in gold which is quite important for the purpose of protection is as good as that of the ones found online but with half or only 1/5 (for the Kalachakra) of the price.

It is worth noting again that for this year the Five – Element Pagoda should include some powerful mantra or sutra amulets and instead of soil put some crystals. For those who will need to wear the Five – Element Pagoda pendant it has to be in gold and carry 3 of the mentioned powerful mantra or sutra amulets above.

It is also important to get these cures early because you would want the protection energy to build up already.

This year the Three Killings also found its way to the EAST, Unlike the Tai Suey or the Five Yellow Star, which we must avoid, the 3 – Killings is something that we must confront. Meaning, the best way to deal with it is to face the Three Killings and not turn our back against it. If the 3 Killings is not confronted then it can wreak three kinds of misfortunes to a person. The three misfortunes are accident, financial loss, and illness.

So a good way of dealing with the Three Killings is to place the image of the Three Celestial Guardians or images of three different Buddha, Bodhisattva, Deity or Immortal in the East section of the room, house, office, and building. Those who are staying in the East section of their house, office, building, or room must wear an image of the Three Celestial Guardians or images of three different Buddhas or Bodhisattvas or Deities or Immortals. But because the North is already weakened having the FOUR DHARMKAYA RELIC MANTRAS AND LAMA ATISHA COMBINED AMULETis also a must.

THE NORTHEAST HAS THE #3 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE ARGUMENTATIVE STAR!

IT ALSO HAS THE ANNUAL KILLING STAR, BIG AUSPICIOUSNESS STAR AND EARTH SEAL STAR OF THE 24 MOUNTAIN STARS FORMULA!

The Flying Star #3 also known, as the Argumentative Star is a star that causes relationship problem, numerous bickering, litigation problems, quarrels and problems/conflicts with people in authority. If not controlled and suppressed, this star will bring about tremendous problems with your family and officemates or business partners. It can also cause a lot of unnecessary legal issues. This star has to be suppressed.

The Annual Killing Star is a star that causes a lot of problem, but the good thing is this sector also has the Big Auspiciousness Star and the Earth Seal. The Big Auspiciousness Star is a powerful star that brings in wealth amongst other blessings. The Earth Seal, has the potential to bring in wealth also but you have to ‘cultivate’ it.

I think it was late last year or early this year that I wrote my forecast for year 2017! One of the forecast is that calamity will happen this 3rd quarter or 4th quarter of 2017. If it happens on the 4th quarter of 2017 it will certainly start or be precipitated this 3rd quarter.

As we all know there is this calamity in Houston, Texas in USA. Hurricane Harvey brought massive rain that rivers overflowed so much that it is now officially been confirmed that it was the worst tragedy to happen in Houston in more than a century! Worst calamity in more than a 100 years! Add to that natural disaster is the disaster that it was said that the Trump US government was not ready for this calamity because of the fact that the two agencies involved in this kind of situation is at the present still unoccupied. To add to that tragedy, Joel Osteen, the Christian preacher and author of several books who has a house worth US$ 10.5 Million and has a large stadium that can fit thousand and thousands of people refuses to open its door for those who were displaced. This for me is worse than any natural disaster, for one person able to help somebody but refuses to do so.

Before Harvey, Typhoon Hato devastated Hong Kong and Macau, thousands were also displaced, this was one of the worst typhoon Hong Kong and Macau has seen in 50 years!

Isn’t it ironic that two natural calamities occurred in a span of two days at two different continents and they’re both ‘record breaker’ in terms of the devastation that they brought? And these things happened both during the Hungry Ghost Month which was preceded by the total solar eclipse!

But for me the biggest tragedy is still about to happen but it has already started when North Korea fired that missile that arced over Hokkaido even it eventually fell of the ocean. It was a clear provocation against Japan and the US who is currently having a joint training. It was not clear why neither Japan and the US didn’t intercept the said missile, but speculations say they avoided being embarrassed which means that they might be ready to intercept such a close encounter. Today, (time of writing is usually not the time of posting) North Korea has announced that the Japan missile is just a prelude to a Guam missile. While this incident doesn’t seem so tragic now, political analysts are already bracing themselves for an even bigger tragedy of worldwide consequence. It is pretty obvious that with Trump at the helm of things in America, he will not like to be bullied, much less by an Asian, and for somebody like him who seems to have strong racist tendencies, he will have taken as a direct provocation. Japan will definitely have to act on this also. We just hope that cooler heads prevail coupled with wisdom and humility and that the leaders doesn’t turn this into an arm – wrestle to determine who is more macho.

Several readers has contacted me asking whether these things are the ‘catastrophe’ that I have written about in my forecast for the year, and whether these things were aggravated by the Total Solar Eclipse on the eve of the Hungry Ghost Month.

I think these tragedies are what I said about the ‘catastrophe’ that will happen or start to happen on the 3rd quarter of the year. But what I’m afraid of is that there is more. I am not trying to be a prophet of doom, but modesty aside I have quite a high rate of accuracy when it comes to forecast. For example, I was the only Feng Shui writer who clearly indicated that there is going to be tragedy in Visayas that will cause famine when Typhoon Haiyan / Typhoon Yolanda happened, to the earthquake in Nepal, to the financial crisis. As early as middle of last year I Have forecasted that the US dollar would hit to more than 50 Philippine pesos. I said it might stabilize at 52 Philippine pesos but may hit as high as 54 Philippine pesos.

I’m saying these not to brag because my high rate of accuracy is not because I’m psychic but because it is of the accuracy in the interpretation of the ‘stars’ for the year, but that we should take these seriously. In the Philippines, we should also expect something to happen which is brewing already. This might ‘blow on our face’ either towards the end of the year or early next year.

And we are talking about this and saying we must take this seriously so that we can all be prepared, and we should all start praying. I believe and know that prayer works and so it is important to pray for our country and for this world.

In the meantime, on a personal level, the effect of the total solar eclipse on the eve of the Hungry Ghost Month could be some personal financial difficulty or illness. When this happens, it can continue until the end of the year. It is best to protect oneself with prayers or with powerful amulets like the Vajrapani Ruel or a gold Kalachakra pendant. My Guru Lama foreseeing this concern, has also recently released the Vaisravana – Dzambhala Wealth Amulet that is suppose to address this concern. The Vaisravana – Dzambhala Wealth Amulet is a powerful wealth amulet.

The Vaisavana – Dzambhala Wealth Amulet has the consecrated copies of the mantras of King Vaisravana of the Four Heavenly Kings and the mantras of the Five Dzambhalas. Furthermore, there are some special ingredients in powder form that are included to add to the potency of the amulet. Before it is sealed it is furthered consecrated on the image of The Four Heavenly Kings.It is placed in a metal case, not just for its durability and protection but according to the Tantric Buddhist Scripture book where Guru Lama got the instructions for this amulet, it has to be placed in cylindrical metal case to symbolize continuity and stability.

This is a Kalachakra Pendant designed by Lillian Too. She has included some mandala sands inside the pendant to make it more potent. I personally love this pendant and has one that is made of white gold. The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

A lot of people have been asking me as to why I haven’t posted anything for more than a week. That is because I ran of banked stories to post because of hectic November and December and also I have to do the Feng Shui analysis for 2017 Year of the Fire Rooster. This takes a lot of time for me to compute and analyze.

In the previous years, I would write my forecast in January so that it doesn’t interfere with the traditionally busy month of December. I do this because I don’t a pool of people analyzing the year’s Feng Shui for me, instead, I have to this on my own, do the computation myself then after that do the analysis. Thus it is easier to do it in January. Furthermore, I want to disabuse the belief that the energies of the year starts in January, because it starts either every February 4 of the year or when Chinese New Year comes in.

However, last year I broke this tradition because the energies of the 2016 Year of the Fire Monkey came early. This year, the Year of the Fire (Intense) Rooster is no different. It’s energies can already be felt by January 4, 2016 and it will already mix the with tail end of the annual energies of 2016 and the monthly energy of the last month of the lunar calendar.

I write this post with a little trepidation. 2017’s Bazi Chart or Paht Chee Chart is quite balance, which is totally different from last year’s chart, and that is a good news. However, amongst the 4 pillars of the chart, only one pillar has a harmonious relationship, the rest are actually destructive pillars. This is not totally surprising because a year is rarely, in fact almost never totally good or totally bad. But what is a cause for concern for me is that the chart indicates a calamitous or cataclysmic event in the 3rd quarter of the year. This can be a worldwide occurrence or it can be patches of smaller (per country) cataclysmic event that will have a worldwide impact. Before I move on to discussing these things in detail, I would like to make clear again, like every year, that this forecast is base on analysis of the Paht Chee Chart / Bazi Chart of the year, together with the Flying Stars and the 24 Mountain Stars Formula. I’m not psychic, this doesn’t come from channeling an energy to make a prediction, rather I compute the bazi chart and make an analysis about it.

Now the question is how accurate are the forecast, and note that I use the word forecast and not prediction, well, as pointed out by readers I have a high batting average and I say this with extreme humility. To this day, it is only this blog who has brazenly written about the Yolanda tragedy (Typhoon Haiyan) that struck Central Visayas before it happened and not in hindsight. While I was not able to pinpoint that it will be in Leyte, I clearly pointed out that a natural calamity followed by a shortage of food will struck somewhere in Visayas in the Philippines. This was forecasted and a reader remembered and pointed it out. This was followed by the extreme heat weather forecast, then the earthquake in Nepal, and lastly by the forecast of the presidential elections in the Philippines and the financial instability that is happening now. And so I say that I write this post with a little trepidation because of some things that the chart shows may happen this year.

Anyway, I think I’m getting ahead of myself. Now allow me to share with you the year’s Bazi / Paht Chee.

For those of you who are familiar with the Bazi / Paht Chee you will notice that the first good news that I can share with you is that all five elements, namely wood, metal, water, fire, and earth made an appearance in the chart. This is good because this indicates that the year is a balance year. It’s been quite some time since we had a balance year and as you may remember, 2016 was one of the worst imbalanced years with the total absence of the fire element. Superficially speaking this 2017 should be a harmonious year, and since all elements are present, it also indicates that there should be a lot of resources available and that there should be stability. But if you notice I used the word ‘superficially’ because the four pillars indicates, as already mentioned earlier, that it is conflicting or in disharmonious state. That is true for the 3 pillars out of the 4 pillars. Furthermore, the ruling Chinese Zodiac, which is the Rooster is also afflicted with the #3 Flying Star or Argument Star, so this sort of negates that harmonious state of the presence of all the five elements in the Bazi Chart. More on about the #3 Flying Star affliction later.

Before I discuss the implications of each pillar. I would like to share with you first some of the luck controlled by each of the element.

This year Wealth Luck is controlled by the Fire element. So those of you who have a high fire element in there Bazi or Paht Chee is somehow assured of wealth or financial luck coming your way. This means that it would be easier for you to get wealth luck compared to other people. To enhance this, one can simply wear more red or wear a red gemstone. Putting light in your front door is also a very powerful way of enhancing this energy; just make sure your front door is not in the North. Furthermore, one can carry a lighter and light the lighter several times a day.

Power Luck is controlled by the Earth Element, and this year it is quite important to have power because while it has determined a lot of things for a person, this year that energy will be doubled. Also in the 3rd and 4th quarter of the year, one has to have power for one to have access to wealth luck. For those whose Bazi / Paht Chee has a very high earth element is assured already of being a little bit more powerful than most people. The Earth element is one of the most important element this year, because it controls a lot of things. To enhance this energy do wear an image of Earth Store Bodhisattva (also called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa) and one should wear more gems or semi – precious stones. Wearing citrine or topaz is one of the best stone to wear this year.

Friendship Luck is controlled by the Water Element. This year the water element is quite high so it indicates that instead of friendship and support that energy is turn into competitiveness. It will not be surprising if friends back stabbed friends to get more of a winning advantage, thus this brings us back to the importance of having more power. Let me clarify here that when I say power this doesn’t refer only to actual power that comes with a position, but rather also more subtle power that comes from within. Furthermore, to deflect the negative effect of this energy, one will do well to wear a Surangama Mantra Amulet(1) or a Vajrapani Ruel(1). Normally, we can suggest a harmony charm or cure, but for this year a harmony charm will not have much effect for the effects of this energy.

Resources Luck is controlled by the Metal Element. If you notice, the suggestion is to wear an image of Earth Store Bodhisattva made of gold. Why? Because one will also need the energy of a metal to have resources, which is quite an important aspect of having power. Resources here refer not only to the physical and tangible resources, but also life chi or inner chi resources.

Intellectual Luck is controlled by the Wood Element. There is only one wood in the chart and this means that intellect doesn’t really play much of a factor in the wielding of power, and this is quite scary, because it shows that a lot of people especially those who are in power and who are near a powerful person will not use much of their brains. However, while this is weak, it also presents an opportunity for us to tap into the energies of the wood element for us to have an upper hand. Wearing a citrine this year will already enhance that energy but if one can have a petrified wood or be surrounded by trees or plants or wear wood jewelries, then one can have access to more Intellectual Luck. Who knows this might make a lot of differences. In fact, I personally think more intellect will make a lot of difference.

Looking at the Bazi Chart, first we are reassured that it indicates that this year will be dominated by what I would call ‘action energy’. Meaning more people will be inclined to see and act on positive things, on top of that, more people will tend to be more cooperative. Politically speaking this may be a good thing because people will tend to look for more positive things from the government.

However, we all see that at the first pillar of the Bazi /Paht Chee, which is one of the more important pillar in the chart and rules the first quarter of the year, the Heavenly Stem Yin Fire is destroying the Yin Metal element of the Rooster. This indicates that the start of the year may be a little challenging in terms of personal goals and also for wealth or financial aspect. Somehow we are able to see that start of this challenges already, especially in the Philippines when the peso continues to be weak even with the influx of remittances from the Overseas Filipino Workers sector coming in. The BSP Governor (BSP stands of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas or in English Central Bank of the Philippines) has also express apprehension with how the peso is doing in the international market. Other countries might also experience the same financial crisis because this is not true only to the Philippines. However, this is where the nation’s leader comes in, depending on how they manage the country, and handle the energies of the year, this may still be reversible or at the very least tempered.

On a personal level, the start of the year will also make most people (not all) that things are not taking off the way they want it to be. It will be more difficult and people might encounter a lot of problems along the way. To help counteract these negative energies of the first quarter, which will have a lasting effect on the rest of the year, one will do well to wear a powerful amulet like the Vajrapani Ruel(2) or a Kalachakra pendant made of gold or jade.

The Vajrapani Ruel looks simple, maybe even rustic, but this simple amulet is packed with a special talisman paper inside, with various ingredients, which includes Namtso Salt, soil, various herbs and plants, crystal, and a relic from a high lama. It’s important to put the ruel inside a amulet holder or something sturdy as to not ruin it. If the cloth had tear which exposes or spill the ingredients inside, the ruel becomes useless. The Vajrapani Ruel itself is only about 1 to 2 inches and it varies from one ruel to another.

This is a Kalachakra Pendant designed by Lillian Too. She has included some mandala sands inside the pendant to make it more potent. I personally love this pendant and has one that is made of white gold. The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

I’ll jump to the hour pillar first because this is another disharmonious pillar. This pillar rules the last quarter of the year. In this pillar you’ll see that the Yang Earth is destroying the Yang Water element of the sign of the Rat. This indicates a very strong instability for corporate worlds and most especially politically. Furthermore, it shows that the last quarter of the year may be a little turbulent; this is both for financial and personal life. Most Chinese Zodiac Animal signs are affected, especially those whose sign has an intrinsic elements of Earth, Wood, Water, and Fire. The only one that was spared is those whose intrinsic element is Metal. To counter this, it is advisable for one to wear an image of Earth Store Bodhisattva (also known as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa). It is also better if this is worn as gold for you to have more of the metal energy that one needs. However, this is something that you don’t just wear on the last quarter, you need to store up on the energy bestowed by wearing the image Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha (Bodhisattva Earth Store), so it is advisable to wear this as early as January of 2017.

From my personal collection. A rare Red Amber Ksitigarbha. If wearing it as a pendant, I prefer the image with the five leave crown. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to get a Ksitigarbha pendant unless you’re from Malaysia, Hong Kong, or Singapore. FOR THIS YEAR IT IS IMPORTANT TO WEAR THE IMAGE OF BODHISATTVA KSITIGARBHA IN GOLD.

Let us now examine the 3rd Pillar of the Paht Chee, which is the Day Pillar, a pillar that rules the third quarter of the year. For those of you who are familiar with the relationships of the elements, you’ll see right away that this is another disharmonious pillar, but this time it is the earthly branch Yang Earth element of the Dog that destroys the Yang Water of the Heavenly Stem. This indicates that the third quarter is going to be ruled by some strong power. This may be good or bad depending on who has the power, and thus superficially speaking it depends on who the leader is. However, we mentioned earlier that there is what I call ‘action energy’ or people might tend to be more cooperative. Taking that into consideration there might be a subtler power but might prove to be more effective in the long run. But what is scary here whether who has the power whether good or bad this might still have some destructive effect. A possibility of a significant calamity is also possible this 3rd quarter. Again, for this it would do well to tap on the energy of Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa (Earth Store Bodhisattva), and it will do well for one to have the Vajrapani Ruel(3)or a gold or jade Kalachakra pendant.

Let us now examine the 2nd Pillar, which is the Month Pillar and has significant effects on the 2nd quarter of the year. Putting this last in the analysis of the pillars only because this one brings good news. And it is important to be forewarned about the negative first before we concentrate on enhancing the good. The 2nd Pillar is one pillar that has a harmonious relationship. How does this translate to us? It means that the 2nd quarter of the year may be the best time of the year; especially those who want their project to take off.

This year the hidden stem also produced a lot of special stars; some of them are good some are bad. First, there is the Peach Blossom Star, which is depending on your current situation may be either good or bad. This star may help bring lovers and life long partners into your life. However, this also brings in third party problems for those who are already married or attached. Especially affected to the negative effects of this star are those couple that sleeps on their bad directions. Unfortunately, this is something that I cannot discuss here because this varies from one person to another.

The hidden stem also produced the Mentor Star, which means some of us can tap into the power of influential people or those elder either in years or experience to help achieve our goals. This also means that when you tap into the power of the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas or Deities, Goddess, or Taoist Gods you can get more help. To activate this star, it will do well to wear an image of a Buddha or a Bodhisattva. Some of my favorites for this star are the image of Buddha Sakyamuni (Buddha Shakyamuni), Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara(1) (also called Kuan Yin, Kuan Shi Yin, Guan Yin, Guan Shi Yin, Kannon) or Bodhisattva Sangharama (also called Qie Lan Sheng Chong Pu Sa, Qie Lan Pu Sa, or popularly known as Kuan Kong which is also spelled as Guan Gong). This year if you are wearing an image of Bodhisattva Earth Store (Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) it also serves as tapping into the power of the Mentor Star.

Kuan Kong Gold Pendant

Those people born under the year of the Dragon because they have the Heavenly Protector Star! This is one of the most auspicious stars produced by the hidden stem of the year. Having this star helps you get protected from the negative energies of the year.To help further strengthen this star it is highly advisable for one to wear a very powerful amulet or an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva.

Those are some of the good stars produced by the hidden stem of the year’s Paht Chee Chart or Bazi Chart. However, there is one very strong negative star that was also produced by the hidden stem of the year’s Bazi /Paht Chee chart. This is the Malevolent Star or what others call Aggressive Star. This star helps strengthen the negative aspects of power. So wrong things might become more pervasive. Everybody is affected but people born under the year of the Rat are most affected. This also indicated a more competitive financial scenario and political scenario. Furthermore, this also shows that businesses will become more ruthless, all these has a negative connotations is each one of us. To help insulate and protect yourself from this star, it is advisable for you to have a very powerful amulet or symbol like the Vajrapani Ruel(4)or a gold Kalachakra pendant. Having the Traditional Sutra Amulets like The Diamond Sutra or The Sutra On The Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva in your home or office will also help insulate you from the negative effects of this hidden star.

These are just one copy each of the very limited copies sent to me by my Guru Lama of the THE SUTRA OF THE PAST VOWS OF THE KSITIGARBHA BODHISATTVA, THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA and THE MEDICINE BUDDHA SUTRA. Sutras are also used as very powerful amulets, that is why you will often old Buddhist Chinese houses has a copy of the Sutra on their altar though they might not be reciting the sutra itself.

This is a copy of the big and small THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA (traditional sutra amulet and sutra amulet) that my Guru Lama sent me. They are quite limited. I only have 10 of the big ones, and 7 of the small ones.

This is a copy of the traditional SUTRA OF THE PAST VOWS OF BODHISATTVA KSITIGARBHA that my Guru Lama sent me.

On the Part 2 of this post, I will discuss what’s in store for 2017 Year of the Fire Rooster base on the Flying Stars Formula and 24 Mountain Stars Formula.

To better understand what’s in store for this 2017 Year of the Fire Rooster please read the other posts about it:

Time really flies so fast, it seems that I have just recently written about the 2014 Year of the Wood Horse forecast and in what seems a short time, I am now again writing about the 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep forecast.

In my previous posts, 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep Feng Shui Forecast Base on Bazi, Flying Stars, and 24 Mountain Stars Formula: A Balanced Year Filled with Wealth and Resources But May Be Ruled By Arguments and Fighting (Part 1)(Part 2), I talked about the year being ruled by the #3 Flying Star, which is also called the Argumentative Star. But really this star can cause more than just arguments, so it is important for you to remember that regardless of your Chinese Animal Zodiac Sign, you need to have the Holy Trinity of Protection for the year.

Note: To know more about the particular recommendation please click on the link. Some links may lead you to a different post that has different title but as you read along you’ll find that that particular recommendation is mentioned on that link. This only mean that I haven’t written about it separately. It might also lead you to a different site if I haven’t written about that particular recommendation at all. More importantly, I’m not selling any of the items below. Some are from my personal collection and some were just lifted from the net. You’ll also notice that some of the pictures are repetitive. This is for the benefit of the people who may opt to skip the signs that doesn’t matter to them.

This is also the third of the series of three posts. It will be nice if you can read all three posts to get a better picture of what’s in store for the year.

Kuan Yin with Heart Sutra to actively create harmony. As mentioned a Kuan Yin (1)(2)(3) pendant with the Heart Sutra can be very difficult to find, and although this is my top preference, separately carrying a Heart Sutra with you will definitely work as well.

This is from my personal collection. The reason I love this pendants so much is because it has a inscription of the Heart Sutra at the back. I wear the smaller one everyday.

My Kuan Yin pendant has the The Heart of Prajna Paramitra Sutra. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to look for this kind of pendant. But getting a Kuan Yin pendant and separately carrying the Heart Sutra will work as well.

Lastly, a Kalachakra pendant, to continue protect you from the peripheral effects of the star, which may be cause by other people.

The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol. You can get a Kalachakra pendant as well.

It has to be mentioned that Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year that will usher in the year of the Wood Sheep doesn’t happen until Feb. 19, 2015. That is the day when we can really say it’s the New Year.

Furthermore, for the animal zodiac sign forecast, one should also remember that these are general forecast and difference will still happen base on your actual birth date. By birth date I refer to the month, day, and time. However, this should still serve as basic guideline.

Is synonymous to lucky this year. Maybe the luckiest of all the 12 animal signs, you will not lack of resources, opportunities, success, and if you play your cards right, even wealth. Your luck is brought about by the wonderful #8 Star also known as the Wealth Star! Furthermore, you are flanked by two Big Auspicious Star from the 24 Mountain Stars calculation! The name says it all and there’s no need to explain this. All you have to do is to focus on what is there to take, focus on the positive and your biggest enemy for the year is yourself if you are filled with self – doubt.

The only slightly hindrance to attaining your full luck potential is by the appearance of the Wu Duo Star. This normally bring about the loss of money, however, a large group of Feng Shui experts believes that when Wu Duo appears between two Big Auspicious stars then the effects are either lessened or totally negated. Nevertheless, it is still better to keep yourself aware of this possible loss so that you can be careful.

General Traits: Very intelligent, logical and clear thinking, calm but stubborn, independent, trusting, industrious, deep and original in thought, reliable, a good leader, intolerant, peace loving.

Aside from the #3 star that affects everybody, is surrounded by auspicious stars from the Flying Star formula, on the ‘house’ of an Ox lies the #6 flying star also known as the Heaven’s Blessing and Mentor Star, on the right is the #8 flying star that is also called wealth star and lastly on the left lies the #1 flying star known as the White Victory Star! All three combined creates the auspicious three – digit number 168. Furthermore, you also have the Big Auspicious star of the 24 Mountain Star formulas. The only conflict is that you’re Sui Po this year, which means you’re in direct conflict with the Tai Sui of the year, and on your left is the Annual Conflict star also from the 24 Mountain Star formulas.

What does this mean? This mean that you’re greatly blessed this year and wealth is definitely within your reach. Furthermore, you may always be victorious in all your endeavors and to top it off you won’t run out of help from powerful individuals who can make things easier for you. On top of that, if you remain good and harvest good karma, help will definitely come from heaven.

You just have to be careful about the Sui Po and the Annual Conflict star, because this can divert your attention from the real price. This translates into making you more susceptible to the effects of the #3 Star. So always remember that for you the best thing to do this year is simply to quietly walk away from arguments and quarrels. Don’t let it lead you to disaster and forget about better things.

The Ox is also greatly affected by the #3 Ruling Star. So better watch out for your temper.

Recommendations:

To enhance the good stars wear the White Victory Star wear the Victory Banner. You can also wear the image of Kuan Kong and Sun Wukong to enhance both the #6 and #8 flying stars.

Banner of Victory Pendant

Front side of the WEALTH AND MASTER PROTECTION PENDANT. This pendant is no longer available. This is just placed here to illustrate a Sun Wukong pendant.

Wear an image of the Piyao (Pi Xiu, Pixiu, Pi Xie, Pixie, Pi Yao) or Dou Mu Yuan Jun to appease the Tai Sui God of the year. I together with a help of a reader might come up with a Master Tai Sui Protection pendant. It’s called the Master Tai Sui Protection pendant because it will bear the image of Dou Mu Yuan Jun (to know more about her please click here) and a pair of Piyao. Hopefully, at the back it will bear the Tai Sui protection prayer. But more than that it is a Tai Sui pendant that will cover all the Tai Sui God, so one need not replace the Tai Sui amulet every year. Hope this comes to fruition.

Gold Piyao pendants worn as amulets are also very auspicious. This is a Piyao designed by Lillian too.

Dou Mu Yuan Jun or Goddess of the North Star is a powerful Deity to counter the effects of Tai Suey. She is said to be the creator of all the Tai Suey Gods does has the power to rule or control over them.

To protect oneself from the effects of the Annual Conflict, make sure you always have something red on your body. Just a little will do. So a little red gemstone worn, as jewelry will do.

Lastly, to protect oneself from the combined effects of the Sui Po and Annual Conflict stars, which create another negative chi, wear a gold Kalachakra or an image of Amitabha Buddha or Amitabha Buddha’s symbolic script.

This is a Kalachakra Pendant designed by Lillian Too. She has included some mandala sands inside the pendant to make it more potent. I personally love this pendant and has one that is made of white gold. The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

Please note that some Ox because of the effect of the Paht Chee is highly susceptible to have health issues this year. This is specifically true to Ox born in the years 1973 and 1985. So wear an image of the Medicine Buddha or Medicine Buddha’s symbolic script or a prayer wheel containing the mantra of Medicine Buddha.

Is another animal sign that enjoys tremendous luck, while you don’t have the Wealth Star, remember that base on the Bazi of the year wealth is quite accessible for all of us. But you do have the #6 Flying Star and the #1 Flying Star, this means with the help from mentors or influential people and from Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Deities, Gods, you can certain attain success in all your endeavors.

However, the 24 Mountain Stars formula of Feng Shui shows you are affected by the Annual Conflict and you are slightly facing the Three – Killings. The Annual Conflict star will make you more susceptible to the #3 Flying Star that is also known as the Argumentative Star. The Three – Killings might also present some problems. Normally, the way to manage the Three Killings is to confront it but this year because the 5 Yellow Star resides in the same sector, confronting the 3 Killings might do more harm than good. But the good news is that you also the Heavenly Seal, which means help from Heaven will surely come your way, this should temper all the bad effects a little.

Lastly, don’t forget that you are also slightly facing the Tai Suey, so better protect yourself from the ill effects of the wrath of the Tai Sui God.

Always look at the face of the Kuan Kong pendant that you’re getting for yourself. The ‘braver’ the face the better.

Wear an image of the Piyao (Pi Xiu, Pixiu, Pi Xie, Pixie, Pi Yao) or Dou Mu Yuan Jun to appease the Tai Sui God of the year. I together with a help of a reader might come up with a Master Tai Sui Protection pendant. It’s called the Master Tai Sui Protection pendant because it will bear the image of Dou Mu Yuan Jun (to know more about her please click here) and a pair of Piyao. Hopefully, at the back it will bear the Tai Sui protection prayer. But more than that it is a Tai Sui pendant that will cover all the Tai Sui God, so one need not replace the Tai Sui amulet every year. Hope this comes to fruition.

Piyao Pendant

Dou Mu Yuan Jun or Goddess of the North Star is a powerful Deity to counter the effects of Tai Suey. She is said to be the creator of all the Tai Suey Gods does has the power to rule or control over them.

To protect oneself from the effects of the Annual Conflict, make sure you always have something red on your body. Just a little will do. So a little red gemstone worn, as jewelry will do.

Had a tough year this 2014. A lot of people born under the sign of rabbit fell into some kind of health issues. Some were easily remedied with rest or popping a few pills, but a lot was a lot more serious. This year should be better, but a lot of you might still continue feeling a little under the blue. But other than your health issues, this should be a good year for people born under the sign of the rabbit. The #1 Flying Star called White Victory Star goes into your sector, this means that you will be victorious with your endeavors. Success will come easy to you.

On top of that in the 24 Mountain Star formula, you got the General Star or Star of the General. This means Rabbit born people who are in the leadership position will find themselves becoming real leaders, there will be more strength in your voice and you will be commanding with confidence.

You are also directly facing the 3 – Killings, and as we said this used to be an easy star to deal with, but this year because it resides at the West and is joined by the Five Yellow Star, it is best to avoid directly confronting the 3 – Killings.

To further enhance your power and authority, you can wear an image of Kuan Kong or a Ruyi.

To deal with the 3 Killings, all you have to do is wear an image of the Three Celestial Guardian, namely the Piyao, Fu Dog and Chi Lin (Qi Lin), or you can also wear an image of 3 different Buddhas, or Bodhisattvas, or Deities, or Taoist Gods or Goddesses. For those who have the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, please note that the image of Medicine Buddha, Kuan Kong, and Yellow Dzambhala are more than enough to deal with the 3 Killings.

Is one of the luckiest signs the past years, but in the year 2015, which is lead by the Wood Sheep you’ll see yourself losing some steam. You’re usually brimming with self – confidence, however, due to the effects of the year’s bazi, you’ll find yourself losing some of these confidence. You might face a lot of challenges also. Whenever you faced self – doubt please just remember that you are right beside the #1 Flying Star, which is the White Victory Star. This should aid you in remembering that you can still be victorious as long as you regain that self – confidence and do away with all the negative thoughts.

More than the White Victory Star you should also know and always remember that you have the Big Auspicious Star from the 24 Mountain Star formulas. This means that this should be an auspicious year for you. Plus you also the Star of Golden Deity, thus you can expect help from the Gods.

However, the 24 Mountain Stars formula of Feng Shui shows you are affected by the Annual Conflict and you are slightly facing the Three – Killings. The Annual Conflict star will make you more susceptible to the #3 Flying Star that is also known as the Argumentative Star. The Three – Killings might also present some problems. Normally, the way to manage the Three Killings is to confront it but this year because the 5 Yellow Star resides in the same sector, confronting the 3 Killings might do more harm than good.

Also you’re afflicted with the Illness Star, which is the #2 Flying Star. While this year the said star is not as strong as last year, it is still wise to make sure that you take care of yourself, what your health and do not participate in any dangerous activities.

Recommendations:

Self – confidence is something difficult to deal with because it has something to do with your personality, so the best cure for this is really to remind yourself your worth. Nevertheless, to help keep an upbeat disposition in life, do wear a Star of David Crystal pendant; wear something that is made of citrine, amethyst, or clear quartz.

The Star of David pendant is a crystal pendant that is faceted in such a way that they call Star of David. It has a lot of uses, but one use of Star of David is to help strengthen your inner essence, and help renew energies.

Enhance the White Victory Star by wearing the Victory Banner and this should serve as a reminder to yourself that you do have the White Victory Star. Wearing a Kuan Kong will also help enhance this star.

Kuan Kong also spelled as Guan Gong is a warrior god. He is a very good protector and wealth god.

The best way to activate the Star of Golden Deity is by inviting to your house or wearing an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva or Deity or a Taoist God in gold. I suggest one of the following: Kuan Yin, Kuan Kong, Sun Wukong, Yellow Dzambhala. In fact, you can get a different image for your house and a different one for a pendant. But since you are also suffering from self – doubt and lack of self – confidence I strong recommend wearing a gold pendant of an image of Kuan Kong or Sun Wukong.

This is from my private collection and is made of Smoky Citrine. I was just lucky to get this on ‘bargain’.

Should also have a good year. This is largely because of the effects of this year’s bazi to the fortune of the horse. You don’t have much wealth luck this year if fortune is going to be solely base on the Flying Star formula, but remember, wealth luck is accessible for all of us this year base on the year’s bazi. Your personal Windhorse is also your greatest asset this year.

You should be ready to take charge of the success that comes your way this year, don’t be timid, and while caution is always advice, be bullish and aggressive but at the same you should remain humble.

Furthermore, base on the 24 Mountain Stars formula, two Big Auspicious stars also visit you, this is great news, and on top of that, like the Dragon, you also have the Star of Golden Deity. All these should be enough to make your year a wonderful one.

But also take note that you were visited by the #2 Flying Star that is the Illness Star, but this year the star is not very strong but still it is best to take caution, because if you’re naturally weak or unhealthy this could have a grave effect on your health. Take note, you should also not tempt fate by engaging in dangerous activities or sports.

Wearing a Three Legged Toad Pendant is considered very auspicious and it captures wealth for you.

To further enhance your greatest assets this year that is the Wind Horse or Lung – Ta, wear an image of the Wind Horse or Lung – Ta.

The best way to activate the Star of Golden Deity is by inviting to your house or wearing an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva or Deity or a Taoist God in gold. I suggest one of the following: Kuan Yin, Kuan Kong, Sun Wukong, Yellow Dzambhala. In fact, you can get a different image for your house and a different one for a pendant. But since you are also suffering from self – doubt and lack of self – confidence I strong recommend wearing a gold pendant of an image of Kuan Kong or Sun Wukong.

If inviting an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva or Deity to activate the Golden Deity Star, make sure the image is also made in pure gold.

Is going to have a balanced year that in the sense that the luck that affects you is quite mixed. Because the sheep is an astrological ally, this would mean that the year would be generally in favor of you. Nevertheless, you have the flying star #7 known as the Violent Star or Star of Violence. There is a potential of robbery or some sort of violence happening in your life. So be extra careful and avoid going out at night and be carefree or careless.

While wealth luck is generally good for a lot of people, you should take extra care in being cautious in how you spend money. It is also possible that even if money is already within reach, sometimes you’ll see it getting lost.

The 24 Mountain Stars formula also indicates that you were sandwiched by two Big Auspicious Star, which means that this should be an auspicious year for you, but another adversary for the year is the Star of Reducing Energy that will manifest itself in making you feel tired and losing both physical and inner energy, this is further heightened by the fact that you are also in side conflict with the Illness Star. So better watch out for your health and always ensure that you stay in top shape because this will be your greatest stumbling block from attaining your full potential for the year. Remember, it is not only the body that may feel tire, but also your inner drive, your inner energy.

On top of that, you’re also in side conflict with the Tai Sui or Tai Suey, thus if not managed this might pose further problems with the Tai Sui God making things harder for you.

To counter the effects of the #7 Flying Star you can invite into your home and wear the image of the following: Kuan Kong, Sun Wukong, Amitabha Buddha, or Kalachakra symbol. A Blue Rhinoceros with a Blue Elephant Feng Shui charm will also be helpful.

This is a Kalachakra pendant released by Lillian Too. I really love this pendant but find it too expensive. The Kalachakra Symbol is a powerful protection symbol. It is actually ten syllable mantra compressed into one symbol. The mantra is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that for the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

This is a lock coin gold pendant, which is sometimes mistaken as a money bag. If you find your luck quite unstable, or easily flowing out, use the lock coin to act as a safeguard for your luck to make it more stable.

For the Star of Reducing Energy, always make sure that you keep yourself in shape, and wear a Star of David made of amethyst or clear quartz. Furthermore, you’re also affected by the Illness Star and the Star of Reducing Energy might make it’s effect worse than normal, so you should definitely have Medicine Buddha pendant or Medicine Buddha Prayer Wheel.

I personally have a hand held, table top, and pendant Prayer Wheel. A Prayer Wheel has a very good calming effect. The prayer wheel will vary depending on the mantra placed inside. Nowadays, people use a prayer wheel with a microfilm to significantly increase the numbers of mantras that’s inside the prayer wheel.

Lastly, wear an image of the Piyao (Pi Xiu, Pixiu, Pi Xie, Pixie, Pi Yao) or Dou Mu Yuan Jun to appease the Tai Sui God of the year. I together with a help of a reader might come up with a Master Tai Sui Protection pendant. It’s called the Master Tai Sui Protection pendant because it will bear the image of Dou Mu Yuan Jun (to know more about her please click here) and a pair of Piyao. Hopefully, at the back it will bear the Tai Sui protection prayer. But more than that it is a Tai Sui pendant that will cover all the Tai Sui God, so one need not replace the Tai Sui amulet every year. Hope this comes to fruition.

Might have the notion or belief that this is going to be good year because this their year. Like always, I again would like to remind everybody that this is a misconception, and there’s no exception for this year. But it doesn’t mean it is going to be an extremely bad year for the Sheep (some will say Goat or Lamb). One thing you should realize is that you should appease the Tai Suey, if you do this properly you will definitely get his support and he will definitely help in making this year a very good year for you.

Base on the 24 Mountain Stars formula you have both the Big Auspicious and Small Auspicious stars, the difference is only in the amount of auspiciousness that they will bestow on you, but all you have to understand is that these are good stars and auspiciousness is definitely just around you.

You have to take note also that you have the #9 Flying Star or the Multiplying and Future Prosperity Star. Technically speaking, this is neither a good or bad star. The power of this star is to let you reap whatever you sow. This star basically multiplies whatever karma you accumulate. If you do more good things you’ll have more good luck in the future, but if you continue to do a lot of bad things, you multiply your negative karma as well. So if you’ve been good you need not worry because this year you’ll reap some of the good karma and help you go through the year, but if you’ve been bad you should try to negate all those negative karma and take advantage of this star by sincerely doing good. Remember, the operative word is sincerely.

Unfortunately, you’re in side conflict with the #7 Flying Star (also known as the Violent Star) and the #5 Flying Star (also known as the Five Yellow Star), which is one of the most dreaded stars. Thus you have to be really careful and ensure that you tempt fate by going out in the evening a lot. Always make sure that you are cautious, not totally paranoid, but cautious. The Five Yellow Star is also said to bring in 5 different kinds of misfortunes, so ensure that you get the help of the gods to keep you safe.

Lastly, your personal Lung – Ta or Windhorse is not very strong either, and this might make you feel a little down. So better strengthened your personal Lung – Ta also.

Recommendations:

The first thing you should do is wearing an image of the Piyao (Pi Xiu, Pixiu, Pi Xie, Pixie, Pi Yao) or Dou Mu Yuan Jun to appease the Tai Sui God of the year. I together with a help of a reader might come up with a Master Tai Sui Protection pendant. It’s called the Master Tai Sui Protection pendant because it will bear the image of Dou Mu Yuan Jun (to know more about her please click here) and a pair of Piyao. Hopefully, at the back it will bear the Tai Sui protection prayer. But more than that it is a Tai Sui pendant that will cover all the Tai Sui God, so one need not replace the Tai Sui amulet every year. Hope this comes to fruition. But more than that, on the entry of Feb 19, 2015 (midnight of Feb 18, 2015 and Feb. 19, 2015) do light incense on your altar or west section of your house.

Always get a Pi Yao pendant that has an active stance.

The Kalachakra Pendant is one of the most powerful Buddhism tools to counter negative energies. Kalachakra doesn’t have a direct translation in any other language but it loosely means ‘the one with 10 powers’. It is also a very powerful protection pendant. You’ll normally see Buddhist monk wear this somewhere around their body. I personally have 3 different Kalachakra pendants. One is made of crystal quartz engraved with a the Kalachakra, another one is made of stainless steel but enclose on it are colored Kalachakra sand and was personally blessed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The third Kalachakra pendant is a white gold Kalachakra with Kalachakra Mandala Sand from one of the Kalachakra initiation conducted by the Dalai Lama, this third piece is truly a collector’s item because there are only 1,000 pieces made.

To manage the Five Yellow Star or #5 Flying Star, wear a gold Kalachakra or a 5 – Element Pagoda (Five Element Pagoda) note that the pagoda pendant should be made of metal, either silver or gold, not jade or other semi – precious stone.

Has superb inner essence and Windhorse or Lung – Ta and this is your greatest asset for the year. Just remember to keep an open mind and remember while challenges await you, draw strength from your inner strength and go forward. Remember that for the year it is important to focus on small successes that will lead to the big ones. Do not be too aggressive and ignore the small ones just because you have your eyes set on the golden apple. Remember before you to the million you will need to start with the smallest coin.

The Flying Star formula shows that you have the Multiplying and Future Prosperity Star, technically speaking; this is neither a good or bad star. The power of this star is to let you reap whatever you sow. This star basically multiplies whatever karma you accumulate. If you do more good things you’ll have more good luck in the future, but if you continue to do a lot of bad things, you multiply your negative karma as well. So if you’ve been good you need not worry because this year you’ll reap some of the good karma and help you go through the year, but if you’ve been bad you should try to negate all those negative karma and take advantage of this star by sincerely doing good. Remember, the operative word is sincerely. But your luck will largely depend on what you sow before.

You’re also in side conflict with the Tai Sui so it is important that you appease him because an angry Tai Sui can make it a difficult year for you.

Remember that you are also in side conflict with the #7 Flying Star, also known as the Violent Star or Star of Violence. Thus it is important that you be very careful. This coupled with the Robbery Star of the 24 Mountain Stars formula is a sure indication that you will have to be careful, be wary of possible backstabbing and betrayal also. There is a possibility of loss of money also.

Lastly, you are also in side conflict with the dreaded #5 Yellow Star, which 5 kinds of misfortunes, thus you must remember that you should definitely protect yourself against this star.

While you are in side conflict with the 3 – Killings this should pose no threat to you. Luckily, you also have the Star of Small Auspicious, and this should reiterate that you should focus more on smaller successes that leads to the big one rather than go straight for the biggest prize.

Recommendations:

Enhance your Windhorse by wearing an image of it, which is also known as Lung – Ta.

The Windhorse or Lung-Ta is another powerful Buddhist symbol that brings success and prosperity. For those who wants to get a promotion or advancement in their career or business having the Windhorse around your body will aid you to achieve this dream. Also the Lung-Ta or Windhorse may bring travel luck.

Wear an image of the Piyao (Pi Xiu, Pixiu, Pi Xie, Pixie, Pi Yao) or Dou Mu Yuan Jun to appease the Tai Sui God of the year.

However, it is usually chanted with OM AH HUM thus making the complete mantra as OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. It is because off this that when I designed the Wish Fulfilling and Buddha’s Blessing Mantra Pendant, I decided to put the symbolic script OM AH HUM on top of Kalachakra Symbol.

There are different versions of the 5-Element Pagoda. However, personally the original version and a small one, I believe, is okay and powerful enough to counter the effects of the 5-Yellow Star.

Is going to face a challenging year ahead, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU HAVE A STRONG LUNG – TA AND INNER ESSENCE SO THIS SHOULD HELP YOU GET THROUGH IT. The energies of the year are quite hostile towards people born under the sign of the rooster. The best thing to do for the Rooster this year is to work hard, strive hard, but keep a low profile. Don’t challenge the universe. Wealth luck is not impossible because the year’s bazi shows that wealth luck is attainable and therefore if you keep yourself protected you should be able to go through the year with problem.

You do have to be wary about the dreaded Five – Yellow Star or the #5 Flying Star though. This star is also Wu Wang; it says to cause 5 kinds of misfortunes that may affect your health, wealth, personal relationship, safety amongst others. Thus ensure other than getting the support of the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas or Deities or Taoist Gods to keep you protected and safe. You do have to watch out for your temper and manage stress because little things might lead to bigger problems. The #3 Flying Star, which is the ruling star that affects all the animal sign, will also affect you more than the other signs also. Thus remember to always keep your temper and feelings in check.

You’re also affected by the Three – Killings, and if you read my posts about the 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep forecast, I said that for the year you shouldn’t really deal with the 3 – Killings because it is with the 5 – Yellow Star, but because you’re in the same sector, you will be naturally dealing with it, therefore it should not pose any problem. Nevertheless, it is still best to keep yourself protected.

Lastly, also with 24 Mountain Stars Formula, you are further affected by the Natural Disaster Star, and this stars doesn’t really just refer to rains or earthquakes but may also mean personal disasters that may naturally occur.

Recommendations:

To manage the Five Yellow Star or #5 Flying Star, wear a gold Kalachakra or a 5 – Element Pagoda (Five Element Pagoda) note that the pagoda pendant should be made of metal, either silver or gold, not jade or other semi – precious stone.

Admittedly, its difficult to find a ‘3-Celestial Guardian’ Pendant. A key chain will do. However, that’s also the reason why I designed my WEALTH AND MASTER PROTECTION PENDANT with the 3-Celestial Guardian at the back.

Front side of the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT. Putting this here to remind those who already have the pendant that this will work as well for the Three Killings. Please note that no more request for the pendant are being entertained.

Wear a Windhorse or Lung – Ta to further enhance it and add a Star of David made of either citrine, amethyst, or clear quartz to further enhance your inner strength. Add the seed syllable OM also to further help enhance life forces. Furthermore, a Victory Banner is also going to be helpful in making sure you get some victories in your endeavor.

The Star of David pendant is a crystal pendant that is faceted in such a way that they call Star of David. It has a lot of uses, but one use of Star of David is to help strengthen your inner essence, and help renew energies.

To manage the #3 Flying Star that rules all of us this year, make sure you have the Holy Trinity of Protection for the year namely the Kuan Yin with the Heart Sutra (you can carry the Heart Sutra separately), Kuan Kong and the Kalachakra.

Kuan Yin and the Heart Sutra will help promote harmony and you’ll need that both with your personal and professional life.

Back side of my Kuan Yin pendant. You can see though it’s small the The The Heart of the Prajna Paramita Sutra is written behind it.

I personally have a hand held, table top, and pendant Prayer Wheel. A Prayer Wheel has a very good calming effect.

From my personal collection. A rare Red Amber Ksitigarbha.Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to get a Ksitigarbha pendant unless you’re from Malaysia, Hong Kong, or Singapore.

Remember to always ask for blessings and from protection from the heaven. And donating blood might be a good way to help take away some of the danger. Also wash yourself with a salt bath for the first 7 days of the week, and another 7 days in the middle of year. Getting a Namtso Salt for your bedroom, office, and living room will also be very beneficial.

Lastly, get extra protection from the Natural Disaster by wearing an image of one of the following: Kuan Kong, Sun Wukong, and Amitabha Buddha.

Will see that while wealth luck is within reach, this is a year to focus more on family, personal, and scholastic life. The wealth that a person born under the sign of a dog will come from this year bazi and not the flying star. This means that you will have to be more resourceful that usual, and you can get this luck by having a scholastic approach, meaning do research and study about the situation carefully. Whatever you do, remember career and wealth should not be your main goal this year. It should be your personal and family life.

The 24 Mountain Stars formula also indicate that you have the Star of Annual Killing or Yearly Killing, the effect of this star is that you have the tendency to become emotionally imbalance and mentally imbalance, this does not mean that you’ll go crazy, but this will mean that you may not be in your usual self when dealing with things. I hate being negative, but it seems that this star is quite strong this year and that some event that may be traumatic and may grave effect on your psychological and emotional well – being is really likely to happen. Furthermore, the Star of the Yin House also visits you, this means you will be more susceptible to the effects of Yin energies and you have to make sure that you continuously have a dose of Yang energy to counter this. Lastly, you are also in side conflict with the Three – Killings, but this should not pose any serious problem but it is still better to protect yourself from it.

Before we end the forecast for the Dog, you should also remember that you’re in side conflict with the 5 Yellow Star of the flying star formula, this star is said to bring 5 kinds of misfortunes, thus it is best to keep yourself protected from this star.

To help suppress your Star of Annual Killing, wear a gemstone, I suggest going for jade. You can also wear the seed syllables HUM or TAM. Combine this with the image of the Kalachakra and a protective Buddha or Bodhisattva like Amitabha Buddha, Kuan Kong. Note the Medicine Buddha is also a protective Buddha.

The Seed Syllable Tam

Always look at the face of the Kuan Kong pendant that you’re getting for yourself. The ‘braver’ the face the better.

It’s quite easy to manage the Yin House, engage in Yang activities like sports, go out and enjoy nature specially the sun, play positive games, eat out with friends, listen to good music, and I know my friend and reader DU will be happy to hear this, wear gold. By gold I mean yellow gold, make this in the image of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas and other powerful images to make it more Yang.

Admittedly, its difficult to find a ‘3-Celestial Guardian’ Pendant. A key chain will do. However, that’s also the reason why I designed my WEALTH AND MASTER PROTECTION PENDANT with the 3-Celestial Guardian at the back.

Lastly, to manage the Five Yellow Star or #5 Flying Star, wear a gold Kalachakra or a 5 – Element Pagoda (Five Element Pagoda) note that the pagoda pendant should be made of metal, either silver or gold, not jade or other semi – precious stone.

There are different versions of the 5-Element Pagoda. However, personally the original version and a small one, I believe, is okay and powerful enough to counter the effects of the 5-Yellow Star.

The PIG…

General Traits: Just, discerning, wise, intellectual and well-informed, lucky with money and in friendship, always admired, self-indulgent, cultured, loyal, reliable, may be naïve at times, loves to gain more knowledge, may be flamboyant.

Has quite a confusing year ahead. Wealth luck both from the Flying Star and the year’s Bazi or Paht Chee is available for the Pig or Boar to take, however, initial glance on the year’s bazi to the effects on a person born under the sign of the pig shows that there is some form of lethargy that will be experienced. Your personal Windhorse is also somewhat weakened and this might have an effect on your overall success and victorious luck for the year. You might feel easily disappointed or discouraged. On top of your inner essence is a little weak thus making you more susceptible to negative energies or negative chi.

You’ll also find yourself better pursuing personal and family luck rather than career and wealth luck, but this doesn’t mean that the last two will be elusive it only means, your personal and family life should take a front seat this year. When it comes to money or career, it is better if you engage more on a scholastic approach, this doesn’t mean that your luck is limited to education or research but whatever you do you should do your research and study the matter really well.

The 24 Mountain Stars formula shows that you the Star of Big Auspicious and the Earth Seal Star. The Big Auspicious star will bring a lot of auspiciousness to different aspects of your life and it might balance out some of the negative effects of the flying star and the year’s bazi or Paht Chee, but what you really should be happy about is the Earth Seal Star, because this brings about stability in all your endeavors. However, those who will find themselves changing career might not benefit from this star so much.

However, you have to be careful about the Yin House Star. This means that the star will make you more vulnerable to yin energies or may make you more susceptible to it. The effects depending on the how much Yin attracts may be from a simple setback, slight fever, or to accidents and grave misfortune.

You are also in side conflict with the Five Yellow Star, the effect of this star is greater for people born under the sign of the Dog, but nevertheless it is better if you protect yourself from the 5 misfortunes brought about this star.

Of course, wearing a Windhorse is also highly recommended. And to strengthen the Star of Earth Seal, wear any gemstones. I personally believe that everybody should have at least one jade, so hit two birds in one stone, and just wear jade. An image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also a very powerful enhancer for the powers of the Earth Seal. Furthermore, you need a lock coin pendant to help catch on the wealth luck.

Windhorse or Lung-Ta with the ‘Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment’ on its back.Please note that this is the Lung Ta or Wind Horse, just found out that some people try to sell of an ordinary image of an ordinary horse saying its a Lung Ta.

From my personal collection. A rare Red Amber Ksitigarbha. If wearing it as a pendant, I prefer the image with the five leave crown.Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to get a Ksitigarbha pendant unless you’re from Malaysia, Hong Kong, or Singapore.

This is a lock coin gold pendant, which is sometimes mistaken as a money bag. If you find your luck quite unstable, or easily flowing out, use the lock coin to act as a safeguard for your luck to make it more stable.

It is quite easy to deal with the Star of Yin House, all you have to do is engaged in Yang activities like go out and have fun, listen to uplifting music, play some mantras, or chant mantras, eat out with families and friends, be surrounded by naturally more yang animals like dogs and birds, be surrounded with flowers, and much to my friend and reader DU’s happiness wear gold. To add more yang wear gold in the image of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas or Deities. By the way, a Happy Buddha is also very Yang.

This piece looks much better in person than in this picture but I know somebody who got this pendant. The person was having a hard time deciding, but for some reason when this picture was taken there seem to appear an aura like image. Also, this particular Maitreya Buddha pendant or Happy Buddha pendant is quite different because if you look at its face it has a happy but calm or serene face.By the way, I’m sure there is a valid scientific explanation for the appearance of the aura, but for it to happened at the time when the person is deciding to get it or not, is something that can’t be easily explained.

Lastly, to manage the Five Yellow Star or #5 Flying Star, wear a gold Kalachakra or a 5 – Element Pagoda (Five Element Pagoda) note that the pagoda pendant should be made of metal, either silver or gold, not jade or other semi – precious stone.

There are different versions of the 5-Element Pagoda. However, personally the original version and a small one, I believe, is okay and powerful enough to counter the effects of the 5-Yellow Star.

To get better view of what is in store for the year please read all the post on this series:

In my previous post, I talked about the forecast for the 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep, mainly focusing on the Bazi or Paht Chee with the annual Flying Stars and 24 Mountain Stars. There I talked about the Holy Trinity of Protection for the year, which are the images of Kuan Yin, Kuan Kong and a Kalachakra.

Image lifted from Google Images.

In all my forecast I start with the East, but I’d like to change that a little this time. Let’s start with the center because this is quite important.

The Center has the #3 Flying Star, which is also, called the ARGUMENTATIVE STAR, because of this, the year is then ruled by this particular star. The 3# Flying Star’s element is also wood, and as we know, if coupled with the Bazi reading of the year which is largely ruled by the Wood element it thus then make the ruling star a very strong one. Its natural strength is enhanced and doubled.

Effects: The Flying Star #3 also known, as the Argumentative Star is a star that causes relationship problem, numerous bickering, litigation problems, quarrels and problems/conflicts with people in authority. This year it will greatly affect all of us. And it is further doubled if your office or room is in the center of the house, building, establishment, etc. Furthermore, as mentioned in the earlier post, there’s a destructive pillar in this year’s Paht Chee chart, namely the word element destroying the earth element this further strengthens the quarrelsome nature of the star. If not controlled and suppressed, this star will bring about tremendous with your family and officemates or business partners. It can also cause a lot of unnecessary legal issues. This star has to be suppressed.

It also has to be noted for this year, that all of us are affected by this star, but the most affected are the animal signs whose intrinsic element is earth and people whose self – element is earth are the most affected.

Feng Shui Cure: Normally the best cures for this star are either the Ksitigarbha Fireball or the Nine – Ring Sword of Kuan Kong. The image of Kuan Kong is also a very good cure for this star. People affected by this star can wear or carry an image of the cures. The Maitreya Buddha also known as the Happy Fat Buddha is also a great help. These are what I normally recommend. However, for this year, as mentioned in my previous post, we will all need the Holy Trinity of Protection for 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep. The said Holy Trinity of Protection are Kuan Kong, which will suppressed the said star, Kalachakra for the peripheral effect, and Kuan Yin with Heart Sutra (you can carry the Heart Sutra separately) to create harmony. It is not enough for us to simply suppress and protect ourselves from the effects of the said star, we must actively create harmony. Inviting the said images in your home, and wearing their images as a pendant will protect us from the terrible effects of the said #3 Argumentative Flying Star. For those who have the Wish Fulfilling and Buddha’s Blessing Mantra Pendant, all you need is to get an image of Kuan Yin and a Heart Sutra that you can carry around.

Back side of my Kuan Yin pendant. You can see though it’s small the The The Heart of the Prajna Paramita Sutra is written behind it.

In wearing a Kuan Kong pendant remember to look for one that has a fierce face and better to get them in gold or something that has a red face.

The Kalachakra symbol is one of the most powerful protection symbol in Buddhism. It actually consists of ten syllable mantra, with it symbolic script condensed into one. The mantra itself is HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. However, the mantra of the Kalachakra is never chanted without the mantra OM AH HUM. Making the complete mantra of Kalachakra – OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAMALA VARAYA HUM PHAT. This is the reason why I decided to put the symbolic script of the mantra OM AH HUM on top of the Kalachakra symbol. As mentioned this is a very powerful protection symbol and can be likened to the Scapular of the Catholics. In fact, you’ll seldom see a Tibetan Monk with wearing the symbol of the Kalachakra on their body. It may be hidden but most likely they have it somewhere on their body. But you’ll never see them have the symbolic scripts tattooed because it is considered extremely bad luck to have a mantra tattooed on your body.

If you wish to wear or invite ‘non – religious’ images for this star, you can use the Ksitigarbha Fireball or Nine – Ringed Sword with apple, and Kalachakra. Kalachakra is a religious image but it doesn’t bear the image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva.

The Ksitigarbha Fireball is a pearl on the hand of Ksitigarbha Buddha that fires up when there are negative energies.

The Nine Ring Sword is the sword carried by Kuan Kong.

However, I think what is more important to know here is that depending on the location of the seat power, some countries might experience more political instability because of fighting. Some countries might even brew a possibility of war. Middle East countries are definitely affected with this star and the China might also be affected, although knowing China, it is highly possible that this is going to be because of their own doing. South East Asia is technically not very much affected of this star, but since this is the ruling star and because of their proximity to China, this might affect them. For the Philippines, base on the chart, our sea dispute with China might further escalate. We can only hope that the peaceful Tai Suey and ruling sign of the year will be enough to temper the effects of this star. Leaders who are calm are needed now.

THE EAST HAS THE #1 FLYING STAR CALLED WHITE VICTORY STAR

Effects: This star brings luck to your endeavors. It helps ensure your success. This year the White Victory Star also ensures that people whose main door faces the east will have wondrous victory luck.

Effects: As the name implies, this star causes illness and to some extent it can be fatal or terminal. Sometime, this star can also cause some accidents that may make you invalid for a long time if not permanently. However, while it will still affect the eldest daughter of the family, this year it is a weak star.

Feng Shui Cure: The primary cure for the ILLNESS STAR is the Medicine Buddha. Wear an image of the Medicine Buddha as pendant or wear the symbolic script of the mantra of the Medicine Buddha or wear a Medicine Buddha prayer wheel to help counter the ill effects of the said star. Chanting the mantra of the Medicine Buddha is also a great way to manage the said star. Secondary cure is Wulou (also spelled as Wu Lou) or Holy Gourd. Please note that it is considered very disrespectful if you put an image of the Medicine Buddha in your room, so in this case one can put the Holy Gourd.

THE SOUTH HAS THE #7 FLYING STAR ALSO CALLED THE VIOLENT STAR

Effects: The star brings hostility and loss through robbery, theft, or even manipulation.

Feng Shui Cure: One of the following items – Image of Sun Wukong (aka Monkey God), Image of Kuan Kong (also known as Kuan Ti, Guan Ti, Kuan Te Ya, Guan Te Ya, Guan Gong), Image Elephant with Rhinoceros. For people who are staying on this side have the house or office, or for people born under the sign of the horse, it is advisable to wear an image of Sun Wukong, Kuan Kong, or a Mantra Pendant. The WEALTH AND MASTER PROTECTION PENDANT that has the image of THE GREAT SAGE, EQUAL OF HEAVEN – SUN WUKONG, and the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT that has the image of Kuan Kong are also advisable.

Sun Wukong aka Monkey God aka Pilgrim aka ‘Great Sage, Equal to Heaven’ is a very powerful wealth and protector god. He is one of the few deities worshipped both in Taoism (also spelled as Daoism) and Buddhism.

THE SOUTHWEST HAS THE #9 FLYING STAR CALLED THE MULTIPLYING AND FUTURE PROSPERITY STAR AND IT IS JOINED BY THE TAIS SUEY GOD OF THE YEAR

Effects: Technically speaking, this is neither a good or bad star. The power of this star is to let you reap whatever you sow. This star basically multiplies whatever karma you accumulate. If you do more good things you’ll have more good luck in the future, but if you continue to do a lot of bad things, you multiply your negative karma as well.

Feng Shui Cure: Last year, I didn’t put any enhancer or cure recommendations because I want people to be more conscious about what they do. However, a reader told me that there are times that we simply, without intending to be bad, create some things that earn us negative karma. For this I highly recommend either the image of the Medicine Buddha or the symbolic script of the mantra OM AH HUM or OM HANU PASHA BARA HE YE SOHA both of which are on the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT.

However, it should be noted that this year, the Tai Suey God is also in the South. It has to be noted that Tai Suey is not part of the Flying Star but we need to always take this into consideration because offending the Tai Suey will create a lot of bad luck.

The Taoists, where most of how we do Feng Shui originated, believes that a certain God called Tai Suey or Tai Sui or Grand Duke in English rules a year. This year 2015, Tai Sui of the year is Great General Yang Xian. However, you have to understand a little about Taoist Gods for you to be able to understand why we have to be careful in dealing with the Tai Suey.

Great General Yang Xian is the 2015 Tai Sui God.

Taoist Gods are like humans with supernatural powers. They have magical and godly powers but they may also have human temperament and they also have characters and personalities. Meaning, they can get angry with our acts, they can be disturbed and get angry with us and thus render a punishment to us, or maybe the simple act of them getting irritated with us might create some misfortune. However, they can also be appease and happy with us and render us some good blessings, or again, the simple act of the Tai Suey getting happy with us will create some good fortune.

To help ensure that Tai Suey is happy with us always carry an image of the Pi Yao or Pi Xiu. This celestial animal will help appease the Grand Duke or Tai Suey. Another image that can help manage the Tai Suey God is to carry, display or wear an image of the Wind Horse or Lung Ta. People born in the year of the Sheep and Ox are directly affected by the Tai Suey God (also spelled as Tai Sui, Tai Sue) but those born under the sign of the horse, monkey, tiger and rat are also indirectly afflicted by way of side of afflictions. should have either the Piyao or Lung – Ta. Also, if your door faces SouthWest, or if your bedroom and office is in the SouthWest you should also put the image of the Piyao or Lung Ta or Windhorse. People who are occupying the SouthWest also should wear or carry the image of the Piyao or Lung Ta. Also one of the best protections for the Tai Suey is an image of the Goddess of the North Star or Dou Mu Yuan Jun, thus having her image is also highly advisable.

Always get a Pi Yao pendant that has an active stance.

Dou Mu Yuan Jun or Goddess of the North Star is a powerful Deity to counter the effects of Tai Suey. She is said to be the creator of all the Tai Suey Gods does has the power to rule or control over them.

THE WEST HAS THE #5 FLYING STAR OR THE DREADED FIVE YELLOW STAR AND THE THREE KILLINGS

Effects: The 5 – Yellow Star is the worst of all negative stars! It’s the most dreaded star. It is said to bring 5 different kinds of misfortunes!

Feng Shui Cure: AGAIN! AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE MOVE OUT FROM THIS SECTION OR DON’T USE THIS SECTION. You can also use the Five Element Pagoda (5 – Element Pagoda), or the Kalachakra. For people who stays in this section of the house or building and if you can’t move out of this sector, it is very important that you wear either the Kalachakra or the Five Element Pagoda. Furthermore, people born in the year of the Rooster should also ensure that they wear either the Five Element Pagoda or the Kalachakra.

Five Element Pagoda

This year the Three Killings also found its way to the West, thus making a double whammy on this sector. Unlike the Tai Suey or the Five Yellow Star, which we must avoid, the 3 – Killings is something that we must confront. Meaning, the best way to deal with it is to face the Three Killings and not turn our back against it. If the 3 Killings is not confronted then it can wreak three kinds of misfortunes to a person. The three misfortunes are accident, financial loss, and illness. However, since it’s with the #5 Star confronting it might be bad for us.

So a good way of dealing with the Three Killings is to place the image of the Three Celestial Guardians or images of three different Buddha, Bodhisattva, Deity or Immortal in the West section of the room, house, office, and building. Those who are staying in the West section of their house, office, building, or room must wear an image of the Three Celestial Guardians or images of three different Buddhas or Bodhisattvas or Deities or Immortals.

Front side of the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT. It has the image of the Kuan Kong, Medicine Buddha, and Yellow Dzambhala. Unfortunately, the pendant is temporarily not available until all the pendants has been served.

THE NORTHWEST HAS THE #4 FLYING STAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE SCHOLASTIC AND ROMANCE STAR

Effects: Romance luck is heightened if your room is on this side of the house. For single people, you might have the possibility of finding love. For partnered people, you might find your love getting more ‘fragrant’. However, for married couple the effect might be two fold. First, you might find yourself loving each other more deeply, but there might also be the possibility of a third party getting involved. It is also called Scholastic Star because it also has a good effect on the scholastic pursuits of a person. Meaning, students may become more studious, and professionals might find that it’s easier to understand documents.

Feng Shui Enhancer: For single person you can put a Rose Quartz Mandarin Ducks on your bedside. For married couple, you can hang the Double Happiness on your headboard. To safeguard yourself from a third party, tie an Amethyst Geode with Red String on the foot of your bed or ask your partner to wear a gold image of Kuan Kong. You can also use the power of Green Tara to ensure that this star works for the positive only.

THE NORTH HAS THE #8 FLYING STAR CALLED WEALTH STAR

(Thank you to the one who called my attention for the typo.)

Effects: This star is a very good star. It gives you abundance and to some a ‘bottomless’ pocket filled with money. This star is not just about money wealth but this is also for over – all abundance. People born under the sign of Rat, Ox, and Pig or Boar will benefit from this star.

Feng Shui Enhancers: Faux gold Coins or Bars or Ingots should be place on this sector. Wear an image of a Wealth Deity like the Maitreya Buddha, Kuan Kong, or Sun Wukong.

Faux Gold Coins, Ingots, and Bars are available in Ongpin.

THE NORTHEAST HAS THE #6 FLYING STAR CALLED HEAVEN’S BLESSINGS AND MENTOR STAR

Effects: This star helps set the ‘tone’ of the year for people whose office, or room is in the NE side of the house or building. Meaning, if you continuously do more good the more blessed you’re going to be. This also means that if you’re Chinese Animal Zodiac is not so good, you will have help from Heaven (Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Deities, Immortals, or Saints). This also means that you’ll be lucky enough to have people who will help you achieve your goal.

Feng Shui Enhancers: In your room or office put some crystal ball or 6 White Jade tied with a red string. People who are staying in this sector and people born in the year of the Tiger and Ox will do well if they invite an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva or Deity or Immortal by wearing their image as a pendant. I personally suggest one of the following: Kuan Kong, Avalokitesvara aka Kuan Yin, Maitreya Buddha aka Happy Fat Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Yellow Dzambhala,Green Tara.

There are several different forms or manifestations of Dzambhala (also spelled as Jambala or Dzambala). Dzambala is a Buddhism Wealth God. The one in the picture is the most common or most famous manifestation of Dzambhala which is the Yellow Dzambhala.

To get better view of what is in store for the year please read all the post on this series:

The 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep (also called as Goat or rarely Lamb) doesn’t usher in until Feb. 19, 2015, but as early as now people are already clamoring for a forecast. So here is the first part of my analysis base on the year bazi or paht chee, flying stars and 24 mountain stars formula.

Photo Uploaded from Google Images

The bazi or Paht Chee of the year of the Wood Sheep (2015) is a balanced chart, meaning it has all the 5 elements: wood (3), earth (2), water (1), metal (1), and fire (1).

Let us focus on the Wood element first because it has the highest number of appearance on the chart that is not counting the hidden elements. Wood, represents wealth this year, and I’m really happy that the number 3 is just perfect because would it have been 4 and 5 it might mean that we will all be aspiring for wealth that is totally unattainable, so 3 is just right. Having said this, it is clear that 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep presents a lot of wealth luck potential for all of us. Unlike in 2014 Year of the Wood Horse, wherein wealth is largely concentrated on the first half of the year; this year’s wealth luck is spread throughout the year. However, much of our wealth and resources luck has been depleted this year, it might take us awhile to actually feel the wealth potential of 2015. It has to go through some sort of regeneration. This only mean that the last half of the year is going to be better than the first half, or at most we will start to feel the wealth luck by the 4th lunar month of the 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep. The hidden element shows two more fire, and again this serves to contribute to our wealth luck, what does this mean, even if you don’t have a clear way of making money, if you just work hard you’re sure to get it. To further enhance this wealth luck you can invite the image of Kuan Kong or Sun Wukong or Maitreya Buddha (Happy Buddha) to your home, wearing their images, as a pendant is also really good. Aside from their images you can also wear either a pendant of the three – legged toad.

Next we have two earth elements, again not counting the hidden elements, and for this year the earth element represents resources. Again, as you can see this is a very good sign because this shows that we won’t lack for personal and professional resources. This totally makes sense because resources will also lead us to wealth luck, but this also mean that even if we only a small share of resources it will still lead to great wealth. As you can see the coming year, as shown on its bazi or Paht Chee chart is showing a lot of potential for us. The hidden element shows 2 more earth elements, and this translate in the fact that when one humble oneself, and one perseveres, one will surely find the resources that they need. To enhance this year’s earth element so that you can fully tap into the luck that it brings, it is also advisable to wear any kind of gemstone. One will do and because I believe that all of us regardless of your Basket of Elements should have a jade, then let it be jade.

I’m a firm believer that everybody should have at least one jade. That is regardless of your animal sign and basket of elements.

If you’re familiar with Bazi or Paht Chee reading and with the relationships of the elements, you’ll notice that there is destructive pillar in the chart. I’m referring to the Wood element and the Earth element. This might mean that there might be significantly destructive earthquakes happening next year, especially in the first half of the year. Or it could also mean any kind of calamity that has something to do with earth or agriculture. It could also mean potential landslides brought about the storm. Again, what I write here are not fortunetelling, these are base on calculations from the year’s Bazi and my own analysis. A lot of human factor is involved so I can be wrong. For example, although, as pointed out by a reader, I was able to accurately ‘predicted’ (for the lack of word) the Yolanda (Typhoon Haiyan) crisis last 2013 down to the point as to where it might happen, I was not able to accurately analyze that there is going to be another Super Typhoon hitting the Philippines this 2014. Although, I did say that while this year is going to be really warm, strong rains is also going to happen. While my analysis was correct, I was not able to predict the Super Typhoon Ruby or Hagupit. But in hindsight, it should have been obvious but human factor; specifically my emotions disrupted the process in having a very good analysis because my emotions and mind is unable to conceive of another super typhoon hitting us.

Going back to the analysis, it should be mentioned that this destructive pillar also needs to symbolically happen because in Taoism wood destroying earth means there is a release of wealth that’s going to transpire. Figuratively, it needs to be released from its hiding place, which is believed to be deep with the earth or mountains. So again this destructive pillar is another indication that wealth luck is going to be good. And again, wood represents wealth this year, and it shows that wood is destroying earth, so again it means that if you use your resources wealth is going to come. If the destructive earthquake should happen, there is a possibility that it will happen in a part of the world where it is mountainous, because as I said it has to ‘release’ the wealth from the mountain, and there is also a possibility of it happening in Asia. That’s another good analysis of the chart but obviously we have to go through some cathartic process.

There is one element of water in the chart, and the hidden element shows no other water. Water, which represents intelligence in the 2015 Year of the Wood Sheep, simply shows that this year once intelligence is not going to be the main factor in attaining success and luck this year.

There is also one metal element found in the chart. And again this is good news because this year the metal element represents either friends or foe, it represents the self – element of the year, and if this high it will mean that it’s going to be a very competitive year, and having a low metal element means it’s going to be a year that will make those who are friendlier and not very maliciously competitive, and whose approach are not aggressive more successful. This shouldn’t be confused on the fact that this is going to be peaceful friendly year, because this year’s flying chart is ruled by #3 star, a star that shows that there will be a lot of fighting and quarrelling, this is not contradictory with each other, but more on this later.

Lastly, there is a single fire element, which is enhanced by 2 hidden fire elements, which indicates power and authority. This is good because this means that those in power or those who have authority will tend to be more helpful towards who don’t have it, but more than that, all of us will enjoy some sort of power and authority. The difference will come on how we use it. This means all of us will have some kind of leverage.

Earlier on this post, I mentioned of the destructive pillars. But the good news is there are also productive pillars. I will not go into details what are these hidden elements but I would like to state that this would manifest in enabling stability. This will manifest more in one’s career and social position.

And here’s another piece of good news for this year, this year we also have the Star of the Powerful Mentors and this manifest in the form of elderly or influential people extending help. To attract and enhance the Star of Powerful Mentor, it is beneficial to wear an image either of Amitabha Buddha, Kuan Kong/Sangharama Bodhisattva or Lu Dongbin.

Unfortunately, also base on the flying star, the year ruled by the #3 flying star that is also known as the Argumentative Star. This star brings about a lot of fighting and arguments. There will be possible lawsuits and to top it off, there might be violence brought about this star. To subdue this star, all of us must wear either the image of Kuan Kong or Ksitigarbha’s Fireball. However, to continue to protect oneself from the peripheral effect of this star, one can wear a Kalachakra made of gold or jade. Lastly, it is not enough to subdue and protect oneself from the peripheral effects of this star, it is also important to create harmony, and we can do this by wearing an image of Kuan Yin while carrying the Heart Sutra. If you can get the Kuan Yin with the Heart Sutra at the back, all the better. For those who have the WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA’S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, all you need is to get an image of Kuan Yin, because the pendant already has the image of Kuan Kong and the Kalachakra. I consider Kuan Yin, Kuan Kong, and the Kalachakra as the holy trinity of protection of the year.

Front side of my Kuan Yin Pendant. This is one of my favorite pendant because I just love that it has the Sutra at the back. Please note that this pendant is not for sale.

Back side of my Kuan Yin pendant. You can see though it’s small the The The Heart of the Prajna Paramita Sutra is written behind it.

An analysis of the 24 Mountain Stars also indicates a generally positive year. There are so much more positive stars than negative ones. One of these stars that are quite strong is the Big Auspicious star, and almost all animal signs is actually going to feel this star. Again, to further enhance this star is recommended that you wear an image either of Kuan Kong, Sun Wukong, Yellow Dzambhala, White Dzambhala or Maitreya Buddha.
